Ecosystem-Centered Design (ECD™) Framework
The ECD™ Framework is a speculative toolkit in development, designed to bridge gaps within current design methodologies by integrating foresight perspective.
It reimagines design practice as a set of complex system intersections, built on a multi-layered model that maps the dynamic relationships between People, Product, and Planet across broader contexts, forces, trends, and weak signals.
Figuratively centred yet intentionally bidirectional, the ECD™ Framework can be used from the outside-in or inside-out, following its influence stream.
This dual movement enables anticipatory, critical and responsible decision-making from industry and academic stakeholders engaged in product creation and innovation.
